Treat Angel Investing 'Like a Hobby'

Indeed, Dr Noel Moore, chief executive officer of HistoIndex, which counts Mr Koh among its angel investors, said: "Angel investors bring benefits beyond their invested money. Start-ups can focus on their business while absorbing guidance and direction from the angel investor."

Dr Moore said the successful trach record of the angel investors helps HistoIndex- which provides products and services in the area of medical diagnostics – to avoid many setbacks and find faster routes to success. "This can be simply a network of resources, but can also be of a fundamental strategic nature. It is almost like short-circuiting the learning curve," he said.
